"Grasso Elio 2019 Barolo DOCG Gavarini Chiniera" is a sublime expression of the Langhe terroir, a wine that embodies Italian winemaking tradition and the excellence of the Nebbiolo variety. This Barolo, with an alcohol content of 14.5%, comes from an exceptional vintage where the grapes achieved perfect ripeness, bestowing depth and complexity. On the first sip, one is enveloped by an intense and seductive bouquet, with notes of ripe black cherry, dried plum, and underbrush, enriched by elegant hints of withered rose and sweet spices.
On the palate, the wine stands out for its robust structure and well-integrated tannins, which provide persistence and great finesse. The freshness accompanies each sip, balancing the richness of the fruit, while a long and mineral finish leaves a memorable impression. This Barolo is perfect for pairing with rich and flavorful dishes, such as Barolo braised beef or wild boar ragù, but it also lends itself to moments of contemplation, enjoyed slowly on its own. A wine meant for aging that, in the coming years, will offer surprising developments, making it a treasure to be cherished in the cellar.
